Welcome to the Community of Mindfulness New York Metro[CMNY], inspired by the teachings and practice of Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. The CMNY is part of a network of national and international sanghas [communities]: a “fourfold community” of laywomen and laymen, nuns and monks. Email cmnymetro-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to receive announcements.

We will look into the meaning of connecting with our spiritual roots or rootlessness through the practice of sitting and walking meditations, deep relaxation, dharma sharing, and singing.

All are welcome to join us for any part of the day. No experience necessary. Please arrive before 9:50 if the intention is to start the day with us. Chairs and cushions will be available. Please bring a vegetarian lunch. Our practice of mindful eating will take place between 12:30 and 1:30 pm. We will enjoy a fragrance-free, smoke-free, and alcohol-free environment.

The Day will be facilitated by Nina Teng and Walter Lyons of the Riverside and Morning Star Sanghas.
